From Blender (2000). Blender is the fifth studio album by the American rock band Collective Soul, released in October 2000 on Atlantic Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Collective Soul's other songs from Blender, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "After All" Tone
What guitar did Collective Soul use on "After All"?
The guitar on "After All" (released 2000) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "After All" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6.5, Bass 6, Mid 6.5, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6.5. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "After All" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "After All" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
